Good Tutorials on Creature Scripts

[DMvO1]

I'm in the middle of working on a really big and really sweet mod and I need help with scripts for creatures to make them hunt during certain hours of the day.

I want to give them behaviors like running from certain factions or actively hunting certain factions or attacking the player on sight but only during certain portions of the day.

I also need to make some of the smaller animals graze on alchemy ingredients, and I want to make them drink water.

I also need help doing scripts to put on armor so it can only be worn by a certain gender or race.

So if anyone could direct me to a good scripting tutorial I would be grateful.

No need for rudeness is there? :blink: This is where people ask for help after all and I'd bet you'll expect it instantly when you need it. Let's hope you don't.

Here's the actual link to the CS Wiki.

http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Main_Page

 

You'll find a lot of tutorials there but for some of the things you need packages and faction interaction would work just as well without the need for scripts. You'll find all the info you need for packages etc there as well. However, many articles at the Wiki assume you already know what you're doing and aren't necessarily user friendly. The beginner's articles sometimes aren't much help either when it's something more complex needed.

 

You might also consider asking at the Official CS forums:

Or another option could be to look at Martigen's Monster Mod as it has some of the behaviours you need for animals, ie drinking, eating at certain times as well as faction interaction etc. One of the knowledgeable people working on it may be able to give you some pointers They are very approachable.

Good luck. :)
